Some of the people I follow, renowned for their infallible musical taste (Chris van Eijnsbergen, M.Foujita), already purchased this brandnew album by "Deluge Grander" right after its release, so now it's finally high time for me, too. It's based on a concept, explained in detail in the enclosed extensive PDF booklet, and in turn is part of an unusual 7-album concept, which, in a nutshell, aims at creating a perfect album by merging two, which are themselves the result of merging four albums. Did I get it right? Well, if so, the strange thing is that "Oceanarium" has been derived from "Helotians" and "Lunarians" - with the latter not being released yet in the first place... umm, well, nevermind, Dan Britton surely knows what he's doing... Anyway, we can expect many years of great unusual music on another five albums by "Deluge Grander", and if they are going to be nearly as brilliant as "Helotians" and "Oceanarium", the future of prog is bright.
